As long as the tooth pokes into his lip, this will not heal. You can try using an ointment containing hydrocortisone, like Cortaid, to reduce pain and swelling.

Rebecca :

If the tooth is loose, it should be pulled. That way it will stop poking his hip, and loose teeth can get infected, and cause other problems.

Rebecca :

If it is not loose, it can be smoothed and shortened with dental tools. He would have to be sedated for that.

Rebecca :

I would not use Super Glue.
